Implementation of Diagnostic Stewardship to Improve Urinary Tract Infection Antibiotic Use Across Three Medical Centers
Overdiagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and unnecessary antibiotics are common. This is particularly true in older adult populations such as Veterans.

Sputum and tongue swab molecular testing for the in-home diagnosis of tuberculosis in unselected household contacts: a cost and cost-effectiveness analysis
Delayed and missed diagnosis are a persistent barrier to tuberculosis control, partly driven by difficulties collecting sputum and an unmet need for decentralized testing.

We implore authors, peer reviewers,and journal editors to stop perpetuating the concept of static and cidal antibiotics, given the aforementioned evidence demonstrating it is a myth. In a clinical context, these terms are not complex. Rather,they are simply incorrect

Static vs. cidal: it’s not complex; it’s simply incorrect | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy
In the first sentence of their recent study (1), Gil-Gil and Berryhill cite a 2018 review article (2) to support the statement, “The clinical outcomes of antibiotic treatments involving the administra...

Oral washes and tongue swabs for Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra-based tuberculosis diagnosis in people with and without the ability to make sputum
Oral samples show promise for tuberculosis (TB) diagnosis, but data from different sample types and sputum-scarce individuals remain limited.

Projecting the impact and costs of near point-of-care tuberculosis screening assays in community-based active case finding
Community-based active case finding (ACF) may reduce tuberculosis incidence and mortality but is not widely implemented due to resource constraints. How novel screening test characteristics would affect the impact and costs of ACF strategies is not clear.
